After the great European epic of "Tragedia endogonidia", Romeo Castellucci proposes a new theatrical adventure, taking us into the meanders of allegories, once again placing the problem of "form" at the center of the stage. Starting with a simple invitation to meet, Hey girl!, he constructs a show made up of a series of enigmas that each spectator can solve as he or she sees fit. Each image, constructed with incomparable visual and sonic perfection, evolves and imperceptibly transforms. Based on a female portrait, it addresses the human race by analogy, because, as Romeo Castellucci says, Hey girl! is "me". By multiplying herself on the stage, the young girl is like a transparent prism showing all her facets at once, all the colors, all the temperatures, all the variety of possible gestures. This adolescent body functions like a magnifying glass, allowing us to observe the abysmal reality of an anonymous life, and the banality of a day completely foreign to the grandeur of myth, but lived here as a prayer in renewed grandeur. Seemingly focused on the symbols of the Middle Ages, it is in fact a liberating struggle against symbols through them, one might say, seeing them as elements alien to life.
